MOSES LAKE — The Big Bend Vikings weren’t even ranked in the May 9 NWAC Baseball Coaches poll, but they kept pushing forward under the radar, clinching the No. 3 spot in the East Region in the last week of the regular season.

MOSES LAKE — Big Bend first-year manager Jameson Lange doesn’t lose track of any given situation during the course of a ballgame. His attention to detail and game awareness makes him a player’s coach through and through.

After a slow start during Game 1 on the road at Walla Walla, the Big Bend bats awoke during Game 2 as the Vikings recovered from an early loss by pounding out 13 hits in the nightcap and rolling over the Warriors, 12-5.

Daulton Kvenvold finally slid in under a tag safely, having been thrown out at second base twice, eluding the sweep of Blue Mountain catcher Dustin Durflinger to score in the bottom of the seventh inning in the second game of Wednesday’s NWAC doubleheader.
